Polymer Additives
Polymer Additives
Antistatic chemistry serves different needs during polymer production and within polymer materials. The categories distinguish reactor process treatments from internal additives used in compounding, so selection starts with the point of application.
Discuss your application
Explore product categories
Process antistatic agents
Static management during slurry and gas-phase polyolefin production, selected around the reactor and catalyst system.
Internal antistatic additives
Antistatic functionality introduced during polymer compounding and processing. Selection starts with the resin, the incorporation method and the requirements of the finished material.
Process antistatic agents
These treatments manage electrostatic charge associated with moving polymer particles during polyolefin polymerization. Review static-related agglomeration, catalyst adhesion, sheeting and fouling.
Liquid treatments are available for slurry and gas-phase production. Selection depends on reactor configuration, catalyst system, resin grades and the operating issue. Carrier compatibility and addition arrangements also require review.
Internal antistatic additives
Internal additives are incorporated into polymer materials during processing to develop antistatic behavior. Candidate chemistry is assessed against the base resin and intended application.
Documented applications include polyolefins and selected styrenic polymers. Compounding and masterbatch evaluation should consider dispersion, additive interactions, appearance and finished-material requirements.
Prepare the technical brief
The information needed for reactor treatment differs from that needed for material formulation. Define the application before comparing candidate chemistry.
- Process treatment: reactor type, catalyst system, current treatment, static observations and sheeting history
- Material formulation: base polymer, processing route, additives, end use and target antistatic behavior
- Both: compatibility, evaluation conditions and decision criteria
Use application evidence in context
Product data supports the assessment of a selected formulation. The separate PE application case illustrates how operating experience can be documented; consider results within that application’s conditions.
Discuss product selection
Share the application, operating conditions and requirements that matter to your evaluation. Product-specific properties, use guidance and handling information are provided in the relevant product data sheet and safety data sheet.
